While the American Allen Johnson has the record of four Championship gold medals in the men’s 110m hurdles event (1995, 1997, 2001 and 2003), Holloway became the second athlete to win three successive Championship gold medals in this event after the American athlete Greg Foster (1983, 1987 and 1991).
